The table shows the weights (in pounds) and monthly incomes (in dollars) of nine randomly selected women
between the ages of 18 and 65. Assume that the x-values are the weights and the y-values are the monthly
incomes.
Are the x $$\begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c | c }
\hline \text { Weight (lb) } & 113 & 132 & 155 & 122 & 166 & 140 & 118 & 129 & 185 \
\hline \text { Monthly Income (dollars) } & 1420 & 3650 & 5475 & 2310 & 4710 & 2910 & 1720 & 2460 & 4115 \
\hline
\end{array}$$ -values matched with the corresponding y-values? That is, is each x-value associated with the
corresponding y-value in some meaningful way? If the x- and y-values are matched, does it make sense to use
the difference between each x-value and the y-value that is in the same column? Why or why not?
